October

At the end of the Morning Offering we pray,"and in particular for the intentions recommended by our holy father this month." So I thought it would be good to start to make note of the Holy Father's intentions. So we'd know exactly what we are praying for.

Why I didn't think of this back (about 10 years ago) when we started praying the Morning Offering daily I'll never know.

BENEDICT XVI
’S PRAYER INTENTIONS FOR OCTOBER

VATICAN CITY, 30 SEP 2009 (VIS) – Pope Benedict’s general prayer intention for October is: "That Sunday may be lived as the day on which Christians gather to celebrate the risen Lord, participating in the Eucharist".

His mission intention is: "That the entire People of God, to whom Christ entrusted the mandate to go and preach the Gospel to every creature, may eagerly assume their own missionary responsibility and consider it the highest service they can offer humanity".
